“Jennifer was amazing. She kept me up to date with King and sent several pictures and videos. I will be bringing him back in August. Thanks Jenn!”
“So happy i finally found a sitter i can trust! Super responsible & keeps me updated. My baby is always happy when i pick him up letting me know he’s enjoying the time spent with Jay & Benji.”
“Jessica was a great cat sitter for Stanley. She was able to care for him as per my instructions and really reassured me during the stay. Since she has experience with cats, it greatly helped since Stanley can be a little bit difficult at times. If you need a cat sitter I recommend her as she was thoughtful and really helpful for me at a time when I really needed the help.”
“Misty is truly the sweetest person! I've used a few sitters before, but I must say that Misty and her husband gave me complete peace of mind every time Lola stayed with them. They treated her like family, and Misty went above and beyond by sending multiple pictures to show that Lola was safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m so grateful we found someone like her. I Highly recommended 😊”
“Mel always has such fun with Milena and her pup, Lola. Milena is wonderful with Mel and takes him on long walks. We are relieved to know Mel is safe and happy while we are away. Thank you, Milena!”
“Maisha was an amazing sitter for my pup! She restored my trust in the Rover platform after a couple of not so pleasant experiences…and he smelled amazing at pickup! I received morning and nightly updates with pics. Will definitely book again!!”
“I will definitely book Tynesha and her family again, they were wonderful the entire time Empire was with them. Constant photos and updates throughout his time. Thank you again🩷”
“Our Junie had a wonderful time! Yuberkis is great, and we are thrilled to have such a wonderful, nearby option for the times we need quality care.”
“My dog sitter canceled on me when i was flying out the next day for a week, I was desperate and anxious! I requested her the same day and she accepted less than 2 mins later. She came over for a meet and greet and felt she was a great fit. I dropped my furbaby off later that day. She treated my furbaby as her own. She would send videos and pics to keep me updated. Would definitely not hesitate to use her again!”
“Koryn did an excellent watching our dog sumo. We got daily updates with pictures and videos, and always responded to my questions or inquiries. Our dog sumo was very well taken care of from homemade dog treats, lots of walks and exercise and play time. We will definitely be using koryn again. Highly recommend!!”
“Shaun is our #1 preferred Rover! He and his family have taken such great care of our giant (95lb) doodle on multiple occasions for many days! He gets walks, playtime and cuddles. 10/10 recommend!”
“Diana & Harish are incredible! My Gigi feels completely at home and they absolutely treat her like their own. They go above ans beyond every time. So happy to have found them.”
“Manuel was absolutely amazing with our dog! From the start, it was clear he truly cared—our pup took to him right away. We came home to a happy, calm dog and felt completely at ease thanks to his thoughtful updates. We’re so grateful and would trust Manuel again in a heartbeat!”
“Caroline was a gem! She was very accommodating of the last minute request and the way she wanted to do a short meet and greet prior to my dog’s stay, it felt very genuine of her to ensure her dogs and my dog had a good introduction. I was nervous about leaving my dog Berkeley for a week, but Caroline and her family really loved on Berkeley like their own and I really loved that she sent frequent photos, videos, and updates about how Berkeley was doing.”
“Thank you for looking after Biscuit, he loves staying with you and came home exhausted from all the exercise and running around your huge yard💕”
“Our Roxy, a Siberian Husky girl, had a fun filled 9-day vacation with Shirley while we traveled. Shirley sent us many cute and happy photos of Roxy playing in nature and snow. Shirley is always pleasant and positive, she loves dogs and loves outdoor activities herself, our Roxy had more exercises with Shirley than with us at home! Highly recommended.”
“Jaina was very responsive when we had a last minute booking for our dog. He was well taken care of and we got daily updates about how he was doing. Brewster is excited to visit again soon!”
“Our dog, Savannah, had a great experience with Mateo!! She got along great with his other dogs, Casper and Mocha, and their cat, Gabriela!! Mateo kept me updated throughout her stay with pictures and messages about how she was doing. She was very happy with them. I highly recommend him and would definitely have her stay with them again on my next trip ??”
“Tiara was amazing. Our usual sitter was away and Yanni and I had to adjust to a new experience. Yanni has significant separation anxiety and consistency is important for him. Since he's never been exposed to cats while we were together, Tiara was open and flexible and open to a trial for a day before my week long travel. She was significantly attentive and informative the entire time. I received updates and picture confirmation unprompted. I knew we were in great hands! Would books again hands down!”
“Amrit (and his daughter) were wonderful with my dog. He provided regular updates and pictures, was very responsive when I was planning, and with pickup and drop off. Very kind and a pleasure to work with. My dog was very happy! Highly recommended.”
